Out of all the places I miss (which there are many), the place I miss the most is my family place in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida. My family owns a condo on a strip of land called Estero Island in a large condominium on the 7th floor. One of the most memorable aspects of our condo is its view over Estero Bay where you can sit on the couch and watch dolphins and boats go by. I cannot even begin to describe how relaxing that entire experience is. When I am there, I usually sit for hours upon hours in total bliss and my only care in the world is whether that boat just ran over that dolphin I was watching (which doesn’t happen too often and the dolphins always live). I think I really miss it even more now, when it’s cold outside because anyone who has been to Florida knows that it’s generally warm down there. My family and I usually go down sometime in late June early July. For some, that might be a little too warm however, it’s the peak of the offseason and you can get into any restaurant or attraction without a wait.
I guess, if I had to choose one word to describe how I feel when I’m down there its “relaxation!”. My only goal on that type of vacation is to sustain basic human life with as little effort as possible, in other words: the greatest most peaceful relaxation ever. So Ft. Myers Beach Florida tops my list for places I miss the most, especially during the cold long walks to class in the morning.
